Peder Severin Krøyer's blue hour

From 28th January to 25th July 2021, for the 1st time in France, Marmottant Monet Museum in Paris organised an exhibition L'heure bleue of Peder Severin Krøyer.

Peder Severin Krøyer (1851-1909), born in Stavanger (Norway) was a Norwegian-Danish painter and sculptor, one of the leader of the Skagen Painters, a community of Danish and Nordic artists who lived, gathered or worked in Skagen, Denmark.

Child prodigy, he was 14 years old when he first enrolled to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.  He was already highly respected as a portrait painter, which was a very prestigious genre.
As student, he made many trips abroad, including France and was influenced by the French Impressionists and their ability to capture the quality of light.
Was a student of Leon Bonnat (a French painter, carver, eduator and art collector, 1833-1922) and came under the influence of contemporary impressionists Manet, Monet, Sisley, Degas, Renoir...

Like many Danish artists, he was attracted to Skagen's stunning coastal scenery, its picturesque landscapes, special atmosphere and with a lot of light and endless views, especially during the evening blue hour, a translucent light merged the sea and the sky.
In 1891, fascinated with the life of the town, he settled permanently in Skagen with his wife, Marie Krøyer (Danish painter, 1867-1940).

Summer evening on Skagen's Southern Beach from 1893 (with Anna Ancher and Marie Kroyer walking together) is one of his most famous works.

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...

Art was an additional emotion applied to skillful technique - Charlie Chaplin The eternal feminine beauty Golden Tears , also known as Freya's Tears' , a famous oil painting with gold leaf, is often attributed to Gustav Klimt but was actually painted by French artist Anne-Marie Zilberman who was influenced by his work.
